I'm now down to 25% of my normal dose of Metoprolol. I'm taking a 50mg tablet, and cutting it into quarters. I had one quarter this morning, and I'll take one quarter tonight. Tomorrow will be the last day of the medication, then I have to quit in preparation for the EP study. So far, my heart hasn't behaving too badly. I'm getting some PVC's and a couple of very short runs of SVT, but all within what I would consider my normal parameters. I thought I'd feel different for some reason; maybe more alert or more alive, but it's really not different. Tomorrow night we're driving 250 miles from our home in Massachusetts to our children's homes in Southern NJ across from Philadelphia. We will be driving as always right thru New York City. When you sweat the details like I do, this part of the trip is always fun with an active heart. I'll have to keep thinking.... M E L L O W W W W......

Well, good luck and keep us posted. I thought I'd write here on your journal....less chance of running into jRant. he-he. I know he's a friend of yours so I'll try not to ruffle any more feathers. So did you decide on Dr. Sirak? Like you said, just try to stay mellow and relaxed. I know you are looking forward to doing this. I was at that point too. No matter what, I'm still glad I went for it! No guts, no glory....right?
